    Lightbulb Post Your Electronics Enclosure!

    Well, after searching this site and Google Images for ideas on how to arrange the electronics in my own enclosure (when they arrive), gave me an idea!

    Post up what ya got. Let's see the goods. If it looks bad, who cares, as long as it's functional! Explain what ya got, heatsinks, power supplies, BoB's, Drivers, etc.

    Let's see what the front of the enclosure looks like. How do you have your buttons and displays mounted. Got some fans, etc. in the rear? Let's see that.

    So, let's see em!

    do what the title says
    here is my little enclosure. relatively small, but the machine is also small
    simple, an eBay BoB, and 3 homemade driver boards (all credit goes to tom mcwire). i have yet to think about installing fans, or (most likely) on-the-enclosure connectors, but i am satisfied for now. the box is from an used alarm system, with some 8mm mdf. as simple as it gets. took me maybe half an hour to make
    :cheers:

    my first bulid is the orange case (messy no room for adding on)

    white case is my second one (neater with more room for upgrades)

    Here's mine, with Probotix Probostep drivers, a SuperPID, 48V switching power supply modded to about 42V (to be within the drivers specs), 12V power supply for the fans and 5V logic, solid state relay (unused).

    My camera batteries just died, so pictures from the other boxes will have to wait
